Judge Haskell moved that the minutes of the January 22, 2014 meeting be approved. Seconded by Judge Romanick. The motion carried and the minutes were approved.

Chair McCullough advised the committee that Judge Nelson has resigned from the Pattern Jury Instruction Commission, which has created a vacant position on the Commission. Since the Executive Committee had just solicited interest for a vacancy on this Commission that it filled in January, the same list of interested applicants was presented to the Committee for consideration for this vacancy. Following discussion, Justice Sandstrom nominated Judge Schmidt for appointment to the Pattern Jury Instruction Commission. The nomination was seconded by Judge Haskell. The nomination carried and Judge Schmidt was appointed to the Commission. Judge McCullough will send her an appointment letter.

There being no further business to come before the committee, the chair adjourned the meeting at 8:22 a.m.
